The New Zealand Workplace Health and Safety Awards 2025
Celebrating the best of health, safety and wellbeing in New Zealand
FINALISTS ANNOUNCED!
The finalists in the New Zealand Workplace Health and Safety Awards for 2025 have been decided. The winners will be announced at a gala dinner at the Viaduct Events Centre in Auckland on 17 June.
The annual New Zealand Workplace Health & Safety Awards have been run since 2005. They are organised by Safeguard with the support of WorkSafe New Zealand and ACC.
Peter Bateman, Safeguard editor and convenor of the five-person judging panel, says this year’s record number of entries – a little over 200 – is one demonstration of how much the Awards have come to mean in the 20 years since they were first offered in 2005.
“Getting through to be a finalist in the face of some stiff competition is certainly worth celebrating. Over the years we have become aware that to win a category is regarded as a significant achievement which can have valuable flow-on effects: it enhances an organisation’s reputation, it stimulates their people to do even better, and for individuals it can be career-defining.”
